The American Heart Association recommends no more than 2,300 milligrams (mgs) a day and an ideal limit of no more than 1,500 mg per day for most adults. Because the average Americanâs sodium intake is so excessive, even cutting back to no more than 2,400 milligrams a day will significantly improve blood pressure and heart health.
There are variances in the recommended maximums - some say the maximum should be no more than 1500 mg of sodium per day, which is adequate to maintain a healthy body. The Mayo Clinic Heart Book and the American Heart Association recommend that intake be limited to 2400 mg per day. Check with your doctor or nutritionist to determine what your recommended intake is and if you should be on a sodium restricted diet.
